A Letter to the Woman Feeling Guilty for Caring About What She Wears // Emily Lehman
In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Emily Lehman and we’re exploring the historical background surrounding the idea that we shouldn’t care about what we wear as women.
This conversation made me think back to my undergrad days when I was studying history. It’s so important to remember that the reality of our current situation as Catholic women doesn’t exist in a bubble - there are so many historical events and religious schools of thoughts that have impacted the way we think today. I can’t wait to share this episode with you!
If you’ve believed the lie that the right outfit doesn’t matter, or have beat yourself up for caring about your appearance, sister, this letter is for you.
Topics we talked about in this episode:
The significance that memorable outfits have in our story as Catholic women
The historical events and religious movements that influence the way we think about clothing and self care today
Thinking about clothing as communication
Discovering your personal style and the importance of integration
The work that Emily does at Verily Magazine
